Hi,

I'm trying to get my XP Pro computers to see Samba shares on a SuSE 10.0
box. On the windows side, I'm using a workgroup, not a domain. I've been
going through resources on the Web, but I still can't seem to accomplish it.

I have accounts the same username/password combo on both machines. When
going into Network Neighborhood on the XP box, the Linux machine is visible.
However, when I try to access it, I get a message saying that I don't have
permission. I've never had probems browsing Windows shares from the Linux
box.

Here's my smb.conf:

# smb.conf is the main Samba configuration file. You find a full commented
# version at /usr/share/doc/packages/samba/examples/smb.conf.SUSE if the
# samba-doc package is installed.
# Date: 2005-09-13

[global]
workgroup = THOMENET
printing = cups
hosts allow = 192.168.1. 127.
printcap name = cups
printcap cache time = 750
cups options = raw
map to guest = Bad User
include = /etc/samba/dhcp.conf
logon path = \\%L\profiles\.msprofile
logon home = \\%L\%U\.9xprofile
logon drive = P:
add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd -c Machine -d /var/lib/nobody -s
/bin/false %m$
domain logons = No
domain master = No
security = user

[homes]
comment = Home Directories
valid users = %S
browseable = No
read only = No
inherit acls = Yes

[profiles]
comment = Network Profiles Service
path = %H
read only = No
store dos attributes = Yes
create mask = 0600
directory mask = 0700

[users]
comment = All users
path = /home
read only = No
inherit acls = Yes
veto files = /aquota.user/groups/shares/

[groups]
comment = All groups
path = /home/groups
read only = No
inherit acls = Yes

[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/tmp
printable = Yes
create mask = 0600
browseable = No

[print$]
comment = Printer Drivers
path = /var/lib/samba/drivers
write list = @ntadmin root
force group = ntadmin
create mask = 0664
directory mask = 0775

## Share disabled by YaST
# [netlogon]

What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Mike
